SAN JOSE, Calif. — LonMark announced that it is expanding its interoperability guidelines and device profile architecture to support the growing market for the Internet of Things. LonMark’s release corresponds with Echelon® Corp.’s new open IzoT platform, which enables the creation of communities of devices based on LonMark’s interoperability model.
“With more than 350 members, 500 certified products and 100 LonMark profiles spanning multiple industries, LonMark International has created one of the world’s most admired interoperability standards,” said Barry Haaser, executive director, LonMark International. “Now companies can support traditional control networks based on the ISO/IEC 14908 standard or migrate them toward IP-based networks utilizing popular wired and wireless transport protocols such as Ethernet, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15.4, and IEEE 1901.”
